Ink by Example — Execing Processes

Ink by Example: Execing Processes

Ink can spawn child processes. The stdout data is passed to a callback when the process ends.
	std := load('../vendor/std') each := std.each log := std.log
Let's take a look at the files in the directory relative to the executing file (in this instance, this website's build script).	path := 'ls' `` path to executable arguments := [] stdin := '' stdoutFn := out => log(out) exec(path, arguments, stdin, stdoutFn)
`args` gives us the command-line arguments for the current context. This can be useful if you're chaining Ink programs.	log('Arguments:') each(args(), arg => log(' ' + arg))
